Users report that the game's optimization can be significantly impacted by hardware limitations, particularly when running dynamic AI, which can cause frame rates to plummet from 120 fps to as low as 30 fps on older systems. This suggests that players with outdated hardware may experience substantial performance issues during intensive tasks.
- “Running dynamic AI, which requires about 8 hours of training, can significantly impact performance if your hardware isn't up to par. I experienced a drop from 120 fps to 30 while training the predator of my ecosystem, and I'm using hardware that's at least 5 years old.”
- “The optimization features in this game allow for a tailored experience, ensuring that players can adjust settings to match their hardware capabilities, resulting in smoother gameplay.”
- “I appreciate how the game provides options for optimizing performance, making it accessible for players with varying hardware specifications.”

The gameplay may not appeal to everyone, and the tutorial could use improvement, but those willing to invest time in learning the mechanics will find it to be one of the best life simulation experiences available.
- “The gameplay is not for everyone, and the tutorial is a little rough at the time of writing, but if you stick with it long enough to learn how it works and you have an interest in life simulations, this is probably one of the best I've seen!”
